Chicken Skewers with Barbeque Marinade

Haven't made chicken on the grill for a while. I really wanted to make a marinade for the chicken. I did a little digging and found this in my collection of many many recipes. It is a simple and easy recipe.

Chicken on Skewers
3 Boneless chicken breasts
Cut each breasts on the breasts longest side. Cut them into strips. Place strips onto a skewer by weaving the chicken in and out of the skewer. Add several strips to each skewer. Place in a dish and add marinade. Marinate for about 30 minutes in the refrigerator. Place chicken onto a 450 degree Fahrenheit grill for 5 minutes, flip and cook for another 5 minutes. Baste a little bit of the marinade in the beginning.

Grilled Spinach
Fresh spinach cooked is fantastic. I thought what about cooking it on the grill? I mean we have cooked other vegetables on the grill so I figured why not spinach. Take freshly washed spinach and add it to a large piece of foil. Add a couple of pats of butter and 2 pressed cloves of garlic. Fold foil in half so that it makes a square (or almost a square - doesn't have to be perfect) and pinch the sides so that it is closed tight. Place on the warming rack of the grill (not over direct heat). Put the spinach on the grill at the same time you put the chicken on. It will look like a huge amount of spinach but remember it will wilt down.

The chicken was placed on top of a small pile of cooked jasmine rice. Fresh tomato slices were added as well.

Sue's Kitchen Digest

The reason behind the name Kitchen Digest. Digest has two meanings: the noun which is an organized collection of condensed information (the recipes) and the verb which means the absorption of food or to absorb mentally.

My hope is that I have in some small way inspired you to get into your kitchen and cook up something wonderful.

About Me

Growing up I loved to cook, it was my passion. As I entered High School I seriously considered going to culinary school, but at the last moment I changed my mind because I was afraid I would lose my passion for food. As time went on I continued to cook at home but I got away from real cooking. I went with things that were easy and not necessarily good for you. I kinda got away from the kitchen. I started cooking again and this time real food.
